Abstract
The products of the photochemical chlorination of isobutane were reported by us in another paper.') In order to find possible industrial uses for these products a series of dehydrochlorination experiments were carried out. These reactions were found also to be of some theoretical interest. The importance and chemical reactions of the monochlorides have been previously well established and were not investigated in the study. Three series of dehydrochlorination reactions were carried out with the polychlorides of isobutane: (1) reactions with sodium hydroxide, or silver oxide and sodium hydroxide in water; (2) reactions with sodium hydroxide in triethanolamine; and (3) reactions with sodium hydroxide in absolute ethyl alcohol. The following equations show the reactions which take place for each of the polychlorides (see Experimental):
